stevej60 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Hi folk's, although not in their easy kit range this kit is very much that,one piece fuselage and wing's make for a quick build the biggest issue is the total lack of ordinance with the kit and let's face it a clean hog just doesn't look right! I do like the gray finish on these examples.Thanks for looking in. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Really nice Thunderbolt there Steve, good to see you can do modern kits as well 🙂. Seriously though, looks great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Looks great to me Steve, brings back memories of holidays to a friends cottage in Suffolk back in the 80s. Used to love watching them go over. Great job Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Very nice clean build of the A-10, but yes looks like a funny spindly machine without tons of heavy metal attached! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hi Steve, great build, and in y eyes it makes a nice change to see a clean A-10! Are the cockpit and wheel wells detailed of caricatured like in their Easy Build kits? Great build! I love it! Congrats!!! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Nice build Steve. Still looks pretty awesome though even without the weapons 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Jean,there's a good amount of detail in there as per their standard kit's just the fuselage and wings simplified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Seriously good looking! Always loved the Hogs and it looks great in that grey and even clean..! Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Excellent job on the A-10! I think it looks good without all the ordnance - a bit of a different look from most of the models you see of it. I've been looking for a modern kit of this aeroplane - it looks like the Hobby Boss kit might fit the bill. I like simple...

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Always good to see a Hog. First time I have seen a Hobbyboss example done. It might be a trick of the light, but that canopy seems too shallow to my eye. Did they get it right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I rather like that "unloaded" look. 👍 It does give a different aspect to the airframe, doesn't it?. Bravo for a great build Steve! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Very cool A-10! Is this 1/72 or 1/48 scale? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick4350 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Very nice. I've got one of Hobbyboss's N/AW A-10A ( two seater ) in the stash which is in 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Lovely Hog! If you do want to load it up, I just finished my Italeri one (apart from some decals needed!), and have a spare Maverick, Rockeyes, AIM-9, bombs, fuel tank and rocket pod if you'd like them?

woody37 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Lovely finish. As you say, it looks a bit bare, but I guess it emphasises the lines and the great finish you've achieved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertTheBear Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I agree with you, the A10 must be packed like a beast to look really good. Still, very nice build and it's rare to see an A10 completely empty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
